"Your Majesty's tongue has a greasy white coating and deep tooth marks on the sides of the tongue. This is a sign of spleen deficiency and dampness. I guess Master Zhang often feels weak, has a poor appetite, and can't sleep well at night." She opened the medicine box and took out a porcelain bottle filled with spiritual spring water. She said softly, "Your Majesty, drink this and see if you can get better."

Master Zhang held the porcelain bottle and frowned slightly. What effect could this small bottle have? But she had just described her symptoms clearly.

“Will it really work?”

"Whether it works or not, you will know once you try it."

Zhang Wenyu stroked his beard and smiled, "Since you are so confident, I will give it a try. If you can cure this disease, I will reward you handsomely."

"Thank you very much, Master Zhang."

After drinking the spiritual spring water, there was no reaction at first. Zhang Wenyu just frowned and felt a warm current in his body, making him feel light.

this······

Zhang Wenyu looked at his hands and feet in surprise, not knowing if it was his illusion, but he felt that all the dirt in his body had been discharged from his body, and even his breathing became much lighter.

"How do you feel, sir?" Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Do you feel better?"

Zhang Wenyu nodded: "It seems that you do have some abilities!" He looked her up and down for a long time, thinking in his mind.

If she was not a criminal, perhaps she could be recommended to the palace to treat the ladies.

"I said I would reward you. Do you want a reward?"

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "There is one thing I really hope to get your approval for."

"tell me the story."

"I want to open a shop in the county town to earn some money to support my family."

Open a shop in the county town?

The shops in the county town are not cheap. Zhang Wenyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Shang Ruoyi, saying in a low voice: "What's your name?"

"My humble daughter, Shang Ruoyi."

Zhang Wenyu's face changed slightly. He looked at her for a long while, then nodded and said, "Okay."

According to the law, as long as the exiled prisoners do not leave the place of exile and pay taxes on time and in full, no one cares what they do specifically. However, Shang Ruoyi thinks it is better to report it in advance to be on the safe side. What if they find that their shop is profitable and become greedy in the future?

"Thank you, sir."

"But you have to pay 10% tax on the profits of your shop."

Shang Ruoyi agreed readily, and the next step was to prepare all the matters related to the shop.

After resolving the issues here, Shang Ruoyi finally returned to the He Mansion.

"Young Madam, you're back!" The servant at the door came forward and took the package from Yingxue's hand. "The old lady and the madam received the news from Ah Cheng and heard that you're back. They are so happy. The food in the mansion has been prepared and they are waiting for you to come back."

As soon as I walked into the main hall, Qin came to greet me: "You're finally back!"

"Yes! Sister-in-law, you are finally back. I missed you so much!" He Yunyi held her arm and said softly, "Sister-in-law, please don't throw me to my brother in the future. He is too fierce. He will punish me dozens of times for a wrong movement. I am squatting in a horse stance, and my legs are still shaking now."

Shang Ruoyi tapped her nose lightly and said with a smile, "If it were me, you should ask your brother to teach you. You've been slacking off in front of me all day long. After such a long time, you haven't made as much progress as your brother did in just a few days."

"Sister-in-law!" He Yunyi pouted and shook her arm: "Please!"

Just when Shang Ruoyi was getting a headache from being pestered by her, He Jingheng's voice came over: "Your sister-in-law is already tired enough, and you are jumping up and down like a monkey. What's wrong with you? You are becoming more and more unruly. If you continue to make trouble, I will do horse stance."

He Yunyi was frightened by him and quickly let go of her hand and sat next to Qin.

Shang Ruoyi couldn't help laughing when she saw this. What on earth did He Jingheng do to scare the child like this?

Seeing that her eyes were still on He Yunyi, He Jingheng's face darkened and he said in a deep voice: "What's so good about that little girl He Yunyi?"

Shang Ruoyi came back to her senses and found that He Jingheng was looking at her intently. Shang Ruoyi was stunned for a moment.

Seeing her in a daze, He Jingheng curled his lips and patted her head: "It's time for dinner. Grandma has been waiting for you for a long time."

Feeling the warmth coming from above her head, Shang Ruoyi took a long time to come back to her senses. She blinked her eyes and followed with a slightly red face.

Yun Qi in the distance shook his head: "Tsk tsk tsk, the prince even used the beauty trap."

Yuntian was also a little bit unbelievable. He had been with the prince for so many years, but he had never seen him like this.

I really don't know what's good about this woman.

Seeing his unconvinced look, Yunqi curled his lips and said, "Just wait! You'd better not bring this state of yours to the prince, otherwise his highness will definitely punish you severely."

After dinner, Shang Ruoyi picked out a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry from the ones given by Mr. Qiao and gave them to everyone in the He family.

Lin smiled and said, "Ruoyi is so thoughtful. She even brought us gifts."

"I just happened to come across it, and thought you might like it, so I bought it back." Shang Ruoyi took a bite of the cake on the table, and her eyes lit up: "Who made this cake?"

Qin smiled and said, "He was the chef who used to make snacks in the palace. I went to the town that day and saw him by chance, so I brought him back."

The chef of the palace?

Shang Ruoyi put the cake into her mouth: "As expected of the old master who used to serve me in the mansion, the taste is really excellent."

At this time, Cong Fangzhi came over and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, can you help me take my pulse?"

Shang Ruoyi put her hand on her wrist, frowned slightly, and asked softly, "Have you felt unwell recently?"

She nodded: "Since the day before yesterday, I have always had trouble sleeping at night."

Shaoyao brought her medicine box, and Shang Ruoyi took out a silver needle and pierced the back of her hand a few times, then asked in a deep voice, "Did you eat anything difficult to digest today?"

Something indigestible?

Cong Fangzhi shook her head: "There is no change in my daily diet, I just ate some cakes."

Shang Ruoyi focused her eyes on the pastries. She didn't think there was anything wrong with eating them today.

"If you want to eat something in the future, let the servants come and let me take a look before you eat."

"it is good."

At night, He Jingheng was leaning on the couch reading a book. Shang Ruoyi thought about it and told him what she was going to do next.

"Milk tea shop?" He Jingheng put the book on the couch: "What is that?" He knew what milk and tea were, but when they were put together, he didn't understand.

"Did you drink it?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Yes, it would be so happy if I could drink a cup of warm milk tea in winter."

He Jingheng smiled and said, "Although I don't know what the milk tea you are talking about is, but since you recommend it so highly, it must be very good."

Hearing him say this, Shang Ruoyi's smile grew even bigger. He Jingheng seemed to be reading a book, but in fact his eyes were following her. Seeing her happy, he felt very happy as well.
